Objective:To evaluate the various wire tension belt ventral compression wiring technologiesfor treating several types of femoral greater trochanter fractures in total hip replacement, according to the different types of greater trochanter of femur fractures.Methods:From March 2013 to June 2019, a total of 1 280 cases of primary total hip arthroplasty were completed in our hospital, 21 patients with greater trochanter fractures were identified in total hip replacement. There were 11 males and 10 females with an average age of 65.81±6.45 years (range 42-76 years). All of them were unilateral. There were 11 cases on the left and 10 cases on the right. There were 11 cases of osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia, 4 cases of hip osteoarthritis, 4 cases of aseptic necrosis of femoral head and 2 cases of femoral neck fracture. Different wire tension belt ventral compression wiring technologies were used for each fracture type. Harris hip function score, Parker activity score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score of hip pain were evaluated during follow-up. X-ray films were taken to evaluate the fracture healing, prosthesis position, loosening and dislocation.Results:Three new fracture types were proposed: A transverse fracture from the greater trochanter tip to the base (4 cases); B oblique fracture from the greater trochanter tip to the base (according to the fracture line direction, type B was further divided into types B1 (4 cases) and B2 (6 cases); and C fracture line from the greater trochanter to subtrochanteric plane (7 cases). Among the 21 patients, one died at an early stage, two were lost during follow-up, and 18 were followed up for an average of 30.7±7.6 months. In 18 patients, the mean operation time was 110.0±20.0 min, and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 356.9±115.7 ml. The patients' Harris score was 35.26±5.52 at the preoperative, 65.7±6.42 at the 3 months after operation, and 87.75±6.21 at the final follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=377.23, P<0.001). The patients' Parker score was 2.17±0.98 at the preoperative, 5.94±1.11 at the 3 months after operation,and 8.01±0.77 at the final follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=170.96, P<0.001). The patients' VAS score was 6.22±1.11 at the preoperative, 2.61±0.92 at the 3 months after operation, and 1.28±0.67 at the final follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=139.71, P<0.001). Deep vein embolism, heterotopic ossification was noted in one and another patient, respectively. The patient with non-union refused reoperation and had a broken steel wire, lower-limb limp, and no notable pain at the 12-month follow-up examination. Radiographs of 17 patients showed good location of the femoral prosthesis and no chronic pain. Conclusion:Different types of greater trochanter fractures in total hip arthroplasty were proposed, using different wire tension belt ventral compression wiring technologies for the various types of femoral greater trochanter fractures during total hip replacement can improve clinical outcomes.

Objective To suty the clinical efficacy of neuroendoscopic hematoma removal and small bone window craniotomy in elderly patients with hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage.Methods One hundred and twelve hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage patients admitted to our hospital from January 2014to January 2017were divided into neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group (n=50)and small bone window craniotomy group(n=62).They underwent neuroendoscopic hematoma removal and small bone window craniotomy respectively.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hematoma clearance rate and postoperative complications,ADL and NDS scores on admission and at month 3after operation were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was significantly higher in neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group than in small bone window craniotomy group(90.0％vs 83.9％,P＜0.05).The operation time was significantly longer,the intraoperative hemorrhage volume was significantly smaller,the hematoma clearance rate was significantly higher in neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group than in small bone window craniotomy group(P ＜0.05).The ADL score was significantly higher while the NDS score was significantly lower in two groups at month 3after operation than at admission(P＜0.05)and in neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group than in small bone window craniotomy group at month 3after operation than at admission(P＜0.05).The incidence of complications was significantly higher in small bone window craniotomy group than in neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group(24.2％vs 20.0％,P＜0.05).Conclusion The clinical efficacy of neuroendoscopic hematoma removal is significantly higher than that of small bone window craniotomy in elderly patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Neuroendoscopic hematoma removal can shorten the operation time,reduce the intraoperational bleeding volume,and is thus worthy of popularization in clinical practice.

Calorie restriction and its impact on gut microbial composition and global metabolism / 医学前沿

Calorie restriction (CR) is a dietary regimen that reduces calorie intake without incurring malnutrition or a reduction in essential nutrients. It has long been recognized as a natural strategy for promoting health, extending longevity, and prevents the development of metabolic and age-related diseases. In the present review, we focus on the general effect of CR on gut microbiota composition and global metabolism. We also propose mechanisms for its beneficial effect. Results showed that probiotic and butyrate-producing microbes increased their relative abundance, whereas proinflammatory strains exhibited suppressed relative abundance following CR. Analyses of the gut microbial and host metabolisms revealed that most host microbial co-metabolites were changed due to CR. Examples of dramatic CR-induced changes in host metabolism included a decrease in the rate of lipid biosynthesis and an increase in the rates of fatty acid catabolism, β-oxidation, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis. The observed phenotypes and the further verification of the direct link between gut microbiota and metabolome may benefit patients that are at risk for developing metabolic disease. Thus, improved gut microbiota composition and metabolome are potential biomarkers for determining the effectiveness of dietary interventions for age-related and metabolic diseases.

Objective@#To investigate the impact of symptom onset to first medical contact (SO-to-FMC)time on the prognosis of patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).@*Methods@#The clinical data of 341 consecutive STEMI patients, who were hospitalized to our hospital and received primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) from August 2011 to April 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into ≤90 min group (201 cases) and >90 min group (140 cases) according to the SO-to-FMC time. The treatment time, mortality and incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebro-vascular events(MACCE) were analyzed. The risk factor of 1-year mortality after PCI and 1-year incidence of MACCE during the post-discharge follow-up period were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. The predictor of 4.5-year mortality after PCI was analyzed by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Methods The door to balloon time (104(88, 125) min vs. 111(92, 144)min, P=0.023), first medical contact to balloon time(146(119, 197) min vs. 177(125, 237)min, P=0.005), and symptom onset-to-balloon time(200(170, 257) min vs. 338(270, 474)min, P<0.001)were all significantly shorter in the ≤90 min group than in>90 min group. The 30-day mortality (2.99% (6/201) vs. 7.86%(11/140), P=0.042), 1-year mortality (2.89 (5/173) vs. 9.57(11/115), P=0.015), 1-year incidence of MACCE during the post-discharge follow-up period(1.16%(2/173) vs. 6.96%(8/115), P=0.021), and 4.5-year cumulative mortality(3.00% vs. 11.20%, P=0.007) after PCI were significantly lower in the ≤90 min group than in the >90 min group. Moreover, the 4.5-year incidence with free of MACCE (97.20% vs. 88.80%, P=0.025) during the post-discharge follow-up period was significantly higher in the ≤90 min group than in the >90 min group. In-hospital mortality was similar between the two groups (2.49%(5/201) vs. 6.43%(9/140), P=0.071).@*Results@#The door to balloon time (104(88, 125) min vs. 111(92, 144)min, P=0.023) , first medical contact to balloon time(146(119, 197) min vs. 177(125, 237)min, P=0.005), and symptom onset-to-balloon time(200(170, 257) min vs. 338(270, 474)min, P<0.001) were all significantly shorter in the ≤90 min group than in >90 min group. The 30-day mortality(2.99% (6/201) vs. 7.86%(11/140), P=0.042), 1-year mortality (2.89(5/173) vs. 9.57(11/115), P=0.015), 1-year incidence of MACCE during the post-discharge follow-up period (1.16%(2/173) vs. 6.96%(8/115), P=0.021), and 4.5-year cumulative mortality (3.00% vs. 11.20%, P=0.007) after PCI were significantly lower in the ≤90 min group than in the >90 min group.

In-hospital mortality was similar between the two groups (2.49%(5/201) vs. 6.43%(9/140), P=0.071). Results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that the SO-to-FMC time >90 min was the risk factor of 1-year mortality(OR=2.90, 95%CI 1.22-6.92, P=0.016) and 1-year incidence of MACCE (OR=5.19, 95%CI 1.21-22.20, P=0.026) during the post-discharge follow-up period. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the SO-to-FMC time >90 min was the risk factor of 4.5-year mortality after PCI in patients with STEMI (HR=2.88, 95%CI 1.10-7.53, P=0.031).@*Conclusion@#Shorting the SO-to-FMC time can significantly reduce the treatment time of STEMI patients, short and long-term mortalities and the incidence of MACCE, and improve the prognosis of patients with STEMI.

Pathological analysis of coronary artery thrombus in different ischemic time in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction / 解放军医学杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between ischemic time and thrombus types in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods Eighty-two STEMI patients undergone emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary thrombus aspiration (CTA) from Sep.2012 to Apr.2016 were included and divided into 3 groups according to the ischemic time:≤4 hours (n=36),4-7 hours (n=30) and ＞7 hours (n=16).Visible aspirated thrombi were collected and separated into erythrocyte-rich type,platelet/fibrin-rich type and combined type thrombi by HE dying.The percentage difference of the 3 types thrombi was compared among the 3 groups.Results The percentage of platelet/fibrinrich type,erythrocyte-rich type and combined type thrombi in the 3 groups were as follows:in ≤4h group:61.1％(22/36),8.3％(3/36) and 30.6％(11/36),P=0.019;in 4-7h group:23.3％(7/30),10.0％(3/30) and 66.7％(20/30),P=0.012;and in ＞7h group:43.8％(7/16),12.5％(2/16) and 43.8％(7/16),P=0.913.For platelet/fibrin-rich type thrombi,the percentages in 3 periods were 61.1％(22/36),19.4％(7/36) and 19.4％(7/36),P=0.009;For combined type thrombi,the percentages in 3 periods were 28.9％(11/38),52.6％(20/38) and 18.4％(7/38),P=0.013;For erythrocyte-rich type thrombi,the percentages in 3 periods were 37.5％(3/8),37.5％(3/8) and 25.0％(2/8),P=0.895.Conclusions The types of intracoronary aspirated thrombi differ from various periods.Ischemia time may be an important predicted factor.

Analysis of reperfusion delay in patients with acute ST elevated myocardial infarction based on gender difference / 解放军医学杂志

Objective To examine the influence of gender difference on the reperfusion delay in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods A total of consecutive 325 patients with STEMI were analyzed admitted in the 306 Hospital of PLA from Jan.2011 to Dec.2015.Patients were divided into two groups:male group (n=268) and female group (n=57).The clinical data and the time intervals including symptom onset to first medical contact (So-to-FMC),transfer delay (FMC-to-D),FMC to balloon dilatation (FMC-to-B),activation delay and door to balloon (D-to-B) time were compared between different gender groups,and the prognosis was observed.Results The overall median of pre-hospital delay was 125 minutes.The median of prehospital delay time (male 119.5min vs.female 160.0min) and So-to-FMC time (male 69.5min vs.female 100.0min) were longer in female than in male patients,but no statistical difference existed (P＞0.05) between the two groups in pre-hospital delay,So-to-FMC,FMC-to-B,D-to-B and total ischemia time.Compared with male patients,female patients were more likely to have additional comorbidities,such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus,and lower rate of smoking (P＜0.05).However,the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) showed no significant difference between female and male patients at 30-day (male 5.22％ vs.female 5.26％) and I-year (male 10.82％ vs.female 8.77％) follow-up (P＞0.05).Conclusion The influence of gender on reperfusion delay is gradually weakening.

The Application of Metabolomics in Pharmacokinetics to Multicomponent Herbal Medicine / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

The traditional approaches of pharmacokinetics (PK) focused on the dynamic changing process of single or several effective components of drugs in vivo,which was noted as limitations for the complexity studies on PK of multicomponent herbal medicine featuring multi-component,multi-target and multi-effect.It was turned into a bottleneck in the modernization process of traditional Chinese medicine,which could have made misunderstanding of pharmacological and toxicological knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine and its combination drugs.Owing to the advanced high-throughput platforms and various big data mining technology,metabolomics was capable for simultaneously detecting and depicting the variations of hundreds or even thousands of small molecules offering new opportunities for the PK studies on some complicated components.This review summarized recent PK studies over multicomponent drugs and chiefly introduced two remarkable applications to metabolomics in pharmacokinetics research,Chinmedomics and Poly-PK,integrating the theories of both metabolomics and traditional PK.The challenges and strengths of the two new strategies were also expounded.

Human BDCA2+CD123+CD56+ dendritic cells (DCs) related to blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm represent a unique myeloid DC subset

Dendritic cells (DCs) comprise two functionally distinct subsets: plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and myeloid DCs (mDCs). pDCs are specialized in rapid and massive secretion of type I interferon (IFN-I) in response to nucleic acids through Toll like receptor (TLR)-7 or TLR-9. In this report, we characterized a CD56(+) DC population that express typical pDC markers including CD123 and BDCA2 but produce much less IFN-I comparing with pDCs. In addition, CD56(+) DCs cluster together with mDCs but not pDCs by genome-wide transcriptional profiling. Accordingly, CD56(+) DCs functionally resemble mDCs by producing IL-12 upon TLR4 stimulation and priming naïve T cells without prior activation. These data suggest that the CD56(+) DCs represent a novel mDC subset mixed with some pDC features. A CD4(+)CD56(+) hematological malignancy was classified as blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) due to its expression of characteristic molecules of pDCs. However, we demonstrated that BPDCN is closer to CD56(+) DCs than pDCs by global gene-expression profiling. Thus, we propose that the CD4(+)CD56(+) neoplasm may be a tumor counterpart of CD56(+) mDCs but not pDCs.

Objective To compare the efficacy of bowel-cleansing,patients′compliance, tolerability and side effects of different doses of polyethylene glycol(PEG)electrolyte solution for colonoscopy preparation.Methods Single-blind prospective randomized trial was performed.A total of 100 inpatients undergoing elective colonoscopy were randomized into three groups to receive 4 L PEG(n =35),2 L PEG (n =31)or 2 +1 L PEG(n =34),respectively,on the day of colonoscopy from May to July 2014.Bowel-cleansing efficacy was separately assessed with the Ottawa Scale for the right,middle,and left colon.Total score was obtained by adding the scores for individual evaluation of the three colon segments with the score of overall fluid in the entire colon.All patients filled in a questionnaire and were interviewed about their com-pliance to the assigned bowel preparation,tolerability,and side effects.Results Patients who did not complete the colonoscopy were excluded.A total of 91 patients were included in the last analysis:31 cases of 4 L group,30 cases of 2 L group and 30 cases of 2 +1 L group.The efficacy of bowel-cleansing of the three groups of patients according to the Ottawa Scale were similar(P >0.05),but the excellent and good rate of cleansing quality of the right colon was higher in 4 L group than in 2 L group(P <0.05).Compared with 4 L group and 2 +1 L group,patients in the 2 L group had higher compliance and tolerability,as well as lower rate of side effects(P <0.05 ).Conclusion The efficacy and safety of taking 2 L polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution in bowel-cleansing on the day of colonoscopy is good and suitable for use.Taking 4 L polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution for bowel preparation on the day of colonoscopy is more suitable for patients who are suspected highly with lesions of the right colon.

Age, estimated glomerular filtration rate and ejection fraction score predicts contrast-induced acute kidney injury in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease: insight from the TRACK-D study / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The occurrence of contrast induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) has a pronounced impact on morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was to appraise the diagnostic efficacy of age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and ejection fraction (AGEF) score (age/EF(%)+1 (if eGFR was <60 ml × min(-1)× 1.73 m(-2))) as an predictor of CIAKI in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The AGEF score was calculated for 2 998 patients with type 2 DM and concomitant CKD who had undergone coronary/peripheral arterial angiography. CIAKI was defined as an increase in sCr concentration of 0.5 mg/dl (44.2 mmol/L) or 25% above baseline at 72 hours after exposure to the contrast medium. Post hoc analysis was performed by stratifying the rate of CIAKI according to AGEF score tertiles. The diagnostic efficacy of the AGEF score for predicting CIAKI was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The AGEF score ranged from 0.49 to 3.09. The AGEF score tertiles were defined as follows: AGEFlow ≤ 0.92 (n = 1 006); 0.92 <AGEFmid ≤ 1.16 (n = 1 000), and ACEFhigh >1.16 (n = 992). The incidence of CIAKI was significantly different in patients with low, middle and high AGEF scores (AGEFlow = 1.1%, AGEFmid = 2.3% and AGEFhigh = 5.8%, P < 0.001). By multivariate analysis, AGEF score was an independent predictor of CIAKI (odds ratio = 4.96, 95% CI: 2.32-10.58, P < 0.01). ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve was 0.70 (95% CI: 0.648-0.753, P < 0.001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The AGEF score is effective for stratifying risk of CIAKI in patients with DM and CKD undergoing coronary/peripheral arterial angiography.

Effect of short-term high-dose atorvastatin on systemic inflammatory response and myocardial ischemic injury in patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) could develop periprocedural myocardial infarction and inflammatory response and statins can modify inflammatory responses property. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether short-term high-dose atorvastatin therapy can reduce inflammatory response and myocardial ischemic injury elicited by PCI.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From March 2012 to May 2014, one hundred and sixty-five statin-naive patients with unstable angina referred for PCI at Department of Cardiology of the 306th Hospital, were enrolled and randomized to 7-day pretreatment with atorvastatin 80 mg/d as high dose group (HD group, n = 56) or 20 mg/d as normal dose group (ND group, n = 57) or an additional single high loading dose (80 mg) followed 6-day atorvastatin 20 mg/d as loading dose group (LD group, n = 52). Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were determined before intervention and at 5 minutes, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 7 days after intervention. Creatine kinase-myocardial isoenzyme (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were measured at baseline and then 24 hours following PCI.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Plasma CRP and IL-6 levels increased from baseline after PCI in all groups. CRP reached a maximum at 48 hours and IL-6 level reached a maximum at 24 hours after PCI. Plasma CRP levels at 24 hours after PCI were significantly lower in the HD group ((9.14±3.02) mg/L) than in the LD group ((11.06±3.06) mg/L) and ND group ((12.36±3.08) mg/L, P < 0.01); this effect persisted for 72 hours. IL-6 levels at 24 hours and 48 hours showed a statistically significant decrease in the HD group ((16.19±5.39) ng/L and (14.26±4.12) ng/L, respectively)) than in the LD group ((19.26±6.34) ng/L and (16.03±4.08) ng/L, respectively, both P < 0.05) and ND group ((22.24±6.98) ng/L and (17.24±4.84) ng/L, respectively). IL-6 levels at 72 hours and 7 days showed no statistically significant difference among the study groups. Although PCI caused a significant increase in CK-MB and cTnI at 24 hours after the procedure in all groups, the elevated CK-MB and cTnI values were lower in the HD group ((4.71±4.34) ng/ml and (0.086±0.081) ng/ml, respectively) than in the ND group ((7.24±6.03) ng/ml and (0.138±0.103) ng/ml, respectively, both P < 0.01) and LD group ((6.80±5.53) ng/ml and (0.126±0.101) ng/ml, respectively, both P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Short-term high-dose atorvastatin treatment before PCI significantly reduced systemic inflammatory response and myocardial ischemic injury elicited by PCI.</p>
